[QUOTE="walkerj, post: 399736, member: 9385"] Not to be geeky or anything, but... When I want to delete a file with extreme predjudice I fire up Terminal.app and to a [FONT="Courier New"]rm -f filename[/FONT] That will skip the whole trash thing. It'll also often take care of issues where you can't empty the trash because Finder thinks the file is being used or some other bogus thing like that. [/QUOTE]
